10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Tongue

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in finding the most suitable option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy urban areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This can also impact renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards as a method of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It is straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extensive road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
